[Bug 581] New: IPTABLES -D -j INPUT_CHAIN hangs and needs a reboot of the system

http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581
Summary: IPTABLES -D -j INPUT_CHAIN hangs and needs a reboot of
the system
Product: iptables
Version: 1.3.1
Platform: x86_64
OS/Version: SuSE Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: iptables
AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
ReportedBy: iamvnraju at gmail.com
This is a part of the codebase of a Voip server product where in we do a
system("IPTABLES -D OUTPUT -j INPUT_CHAIN"); when the server is
shutting down,
and this call sometimes hangs.
my iptables version is 1.3.1 and my Linux kernel version is 2.6.18.2-34.
Is this a known issue which has been fixed? If the case is affirmative, then
please give me some information about the patch, fixing this issue.
Any pointers to what could be the issue would be of great help.
regards,
Raju

Try upgrading the iptables userspace programs first. (Your version is _over_ 4
years old.)
Please reopen if the issue persists.
